Automatisch samengesteld met AI uit de vermelde bronnen

Ian Tyler, BP's interim chair, confirmed that Amanda Blanc will lead the search for a new chair, with the board describing it as a rigorous process involving all directors despite some shareholders voicing concerns over her previous search that resulted in Albert Manifold's appointment. Manifold was removed last week after eight months in the role due to what the board called unacceptable governance oversight and conduct issues. William Lin, head of gas and low-carbon division, will also leave the company this year.
